Background: The purpose of our study was to compare 2 commonly used highly successful cruciate-retaining knee designs on the basis of patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs), range of motion (ROM), and anterior knee pain (AKP) at a minimum follow-up of 5 years.

Methods: A cohort of 65 patients underwent unilateral total knee arthroplasty, from January 2013 to December 2013, using NexGen Cruciate Retaining (Zimmer Biomet, Warsaw, IN), a nonmorphogenic knee (NMK) system. They were subsequently operated upon for the contralateral knee using Persona Cruciate Retaining (Zimmer Biomet, Warsaw, IN), a morphogenic knee (MK) system between January 2014 and June 2014. Of the 65 patients, 63 participated in this study. All the patients were compared preoperatively and postoperatively on the basis of PROMs, ROM, and AKP.

Results: On the basis of PROMs, ROM, and AKP, there was a statistically significant difference between the 2 groups favoring the MK group, with an ROM of 126.14° in the MK group as compared with 120.76° in the NMK group and value of <.01.

Conclusions: PROMs, ROM, and AKP improved significantly over time after total knee arthroplasty using both MK and NMK implants; however, the outcomes of the former were better than those of the latter, although this difference was not clinically significant.

The purpose of the present study was to evaluate and compare the clinical outcomes of two groups of patients subject to bi-cruciate retaining (BCR) or posterior-stabilized (PS) implants. It was hypothesized that patients treated with BCR prostheses would present higher flexion and better clinical and functional results than those treated with PS implants. This prospective study included thirty-two patients treated for primary knee osteoarthritis and assigned to two matched groups for their demographic characteristics and comorbidities.

Background: Femoral condyle insufficiency fractures following total knee arthroplasty (FCIF-TKA) are rare but significant complications. These fractures, characterized by atraumatic bone insufficiency near the femoral component, present unique challenges in postoperative care, often necessitating femoral component revision.

Methods: This study retrospectively reviewed 835 primary total knee arthroplasties performed by a single surgeon, identifying six cases of FCIF-TKA.

Case: A 75-year-old woman underwent cruciate retaining total knee arthroplasty (TKA) for osteonecrosis of the knee, converted from unicompartmental arthroplasty due to an intraoperative medial tibial plateau fracture. Four years later, she experienced persistent knee pain. Computed tomography revealed tibial malalignments in 2 planes.

Background: Bicruciate-retaining (BCR) prostheses have been introduced to recreate normal knee movements by preserving both the anterior and posterior cruciate ligaments. One of the surgical procedures essential to the success of BCR total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is preservation of the tibial eminence. However, in our clinical experience, we found that a well-preserved tibial eminence changed its shape chronologically after the operation.

Introduction: Extraarticular deformity (EAD) with knee arthritis is a complex condition involving tri-planar bone deformity with pathological malalignment and chronic soft tissue contracture or laxity in the knee joint. Intraarticular correction by TKA, which was previously performed with conventional manual jig by mechanical alignment technique, had its limits and difficulties especially extensive soft tissue release and risk of jeopardizing the collateral ligaments. Robotic technology allows for reproducible and precise execution of surgical plan and allows adjustment to various new personalised alignment philosophy including functional alignment (FA).
